ROME, n. Y, February 28.-The Sentinel
has a special from Herkimer, n. Y, says:
at 8 O'Clock yesterday morning Dr.. Powell
received a message from the Jail requesting
his presence at the Jail, as Mrs. DEus6 wish
ed to see him on q matter of great import
anee. He Immediately repaired to the cell
of the doomed woman. She said to him:
Mr.. Powell, I have sent for you to make a
confession. VIII you listenI"
YES certainly replied the doctor, and
be at once produced pencil and paper, and
took down what she said.
''What 1 an about to say to yOu," she
said, ''has never been made public before,
and i assure you on the honor of a woman
standing on the brink of the grave, that
am speaking the truth. About December Ist,
on Wednesday night, Druse was away as he
usually was. Gates came IN and asked me
II DID not want 70 get nd OF DEu66. l told
him was nearly dead now, and did not
care what happened. He asked me if I had
the pistols he gave me, and told him yes,
l went and got them, andEI showed him that
l could shoot them. Then he went away,
but came again on Decem Der II. the night
before the murder, and told me to hurry mp;
to take the hrst chance [ got. he said /
should not burn the head, because il would
leave traces; he would take care OF that.
The next morning saw him coming up the
road just as Druss sat down to breakfast.
This was Just after he raised the axe to
strike me. ran to the buttery, got a pis-
tOi and came out. He was sitting down at
the table. He sWors aWfuliy about the tea
and sugar. I raised the pistol and shot. I
hit him in the neck and only stunned
him. Gates then shot through the win
dow and ne fell 20 the floor. I only
shot once. Gates shot three OF four times.

ped MIN up. The head was wrapped IN a
paper and carried out to the wood shed Ii
was put in a lot of buckWheat. The body
was all burned up; none was given to the
pigs. Gates came that night. I told him
what had happened. He said he would come
for the buckWheat tomorrow morning,
which he did. He took Druse's head with
hun. it was buried mile from RIchfeld
Springs where could find it If L chose. It
took eight hours to burn the body and il
made an awful smell. nearly tainted sew
eral times. could not stand it any longer.
He was a brute and / had not slept with
him in twelve years. Gates put Frank up
to tell what he did cell, to shove it on to me,
but he will get his reward some time. Now
you must not tell any one this until I am
gone, and not let 1t get IN any paper until
after y tomorrow. You can say too that
on my dying day am more innocent Of
crime than those who put me up to it. There
are some names on that petition sent from
Warren which could cover with shame,
but die IN peace with every One.''
